02:22 < aestetix> ok I got to hand it to Kid Rock
02:22 < aestetix> https://eu.tennessean.com/story/news/2018/12/08/kid-rock-spends-81-000-pay-350-layaway-balances-nashville-walmart/2250715002/
02:22 < PigBot> Kid Rock pays off $81,000 worth of layaways at Nashville Walmart (at eu.tennessean.com) http://tinyurl.com/y9f4g6ho
02:22 < aestetix> that's really nice
07:04 -!- Dolemite [~scott@h69-131-146-18.cncrtn.dsl.dynamic.tds.net] has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
09:02 <@oddball> But remember: he's a bad person because he called a woman that has been mean and hateful to him "a bitch."
09:36 -!- Corydon76 [~quassel@zett.abyt.es] has quit [Ping timeout: 244 seconds]
10:25 <@oddball> aestetix: Have you been following what's been going on with Patreon and Sargon of Akkad?
10:28 < aestetix> I saw a bit of it, yes
10:28 < aestetix> as in I saw Tim's video on it
10:28 < aestetix> Has anything else developed?
10:28 <@oddball> Sargon has gone into a bit more detail on his channel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ThPdCicEsg
10:28 < PigBot> You Cannot Trust Patreon (at www.youtube.com) http://tinyurl.com/y78vbxx2
10:29 <@oddball> Including video of the CEO of Patreon explicitely stating the opposite of what the community support team has told folks.
10:31 <@oddball> And, of course, the disturbing thing that Patreon is opperating under a "first strike your out" policy, and apparently didn't even bother informing Sargon that they deleted his account.
11:13 <@Dagmar> Well, I just lost whatever respect I had for Patreon
11:13 <@Dagmar> ...because this is some mealy-mouthed bullshit they've pulled.
11:16 <@oddball> yep
11:16 <@oddball> The problem is... is there anyone else that does what they do?
11:19 < aestetix> looks like there is a competitor called subscribestar
11:19 < aestetix> Sargon mentions it in the video
11:19 <@oddball> Ok, I missed it.
11:31 < aestetix> oh wow Tim Cook has gone full SJW too
11:35 < aestetix> .... worse
11:36 < aestetix> he's not just criticizing "racism" like a SJW
11:36 < aestetix> he's playing god
11:36 <@oddball> Oh, you hadn't seen the whole "it's a sin" speech?
11:36 < aestetix> no
11:36 < aestetix> some of it is really good.... but it's clear he has an agenda
11:36 <@oddball> More reason for me to not use Apple products.
11:41 < aestetix> oddball: at the moment, I think the most important thing is to not be radicalized in either direction
11:41 < aestetix> And to be able to keep an open mind to differing views
11:42 < aestetix> within reason.
11:45 <@oddball> I'll agree with you on that.
11:52 <@Mirage> Wow..they might actually do right by "Dark Phoenix".. 'In DARK PHOENIX, the X-MEN face their most formidable and powerful foe: one of their own, Jean Grey. During a rescue mission in space, Jean is nearly killed when she is hit by a mysterious cosmic force. Once she returns home, this force not only makes her infinitely more powerful, but far more unstable.'
11:52 <@Mirage> Much more accurate/cannon than past teases of Phoenix.
11:54 <@Mirage> Of course X-Men in general is so fucked that I'm sure most of us long-time collectors/followers just don't really give shit anymore because it's now the expectation that everything will be completely screwed up.
15:36 <@rhia> so, praise for Kid Rock but no mention of Tyler Perry for doing what even KR acknowledged Perry did first.  Alrighty.
15:37 <@rhia> both following what Bensen did a few days before.
16:08 <@Dagmar> Their PR people made a bigger deal out of it after the hate machine started making the rounds
21:39 < aestetix> rhia: it's good that all of them did it. Kid Rock is the one I'm most familiar with.
21:40 < aestetix> I don't actually know who Tyler Perry is
21:41 <@rhia> https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1347153/
21:41 < PigBot> Tyler Perry - IMDb (at www.imdb.com) http://tinyurl.com/yb5avfg3
21:42 < aestetix> I haven't seen any of those
21:42 < aestetix> Although wow, he did a movie series called Madea. Any relation to Medea?
21:42 <@rhia> writer, producer, actor . . .
